Precision pipes made of corrosion-resistant steel are used for manufacturing sources of ionizing radiation. The accuracy and stability of the pipe sizes provides the ability to assemble the source design with a remote tool under conditions of technological chambers. Ensuring production of radiation sources by precision domestic tubes is an actual task. The technology of producing pipes for radiation sources has been developed and mastered. The basis of technology is a method of pipes drawing on a mandrel. The novelty of the proposed method is the use of a tool made of a material with certain physical properties. To illustrate the possibilities of the new technology, the results of a statistical analysis of dimensions of the outer and inner diameters, as well as the roughness of the outer surface of the pipes, are presented. It is established that the new technology provides the required level of dimensional accuracy and surface quality of pipes for radiation sources.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
